ECTS : 6
Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
In this class, students will be able to reflect on the core qualities any leader should have. They will learn the role and the place of a leader in a team and in an organization, as well as the sources of leadership and how leadership can be exercised. They will discover some of the tools at a leader's disposal to face the many challenges they face (stress management, negotiation, effective communication, emotional intelligence, diversity, and inclusion, etc.), and will be able to practice with them. Mostly, they will be able to think about what leaders they will want in their careers and which kind of leader they will want to become.
To achieve this goal, students will be prompted to discover these skills through case studies, articles and videos analysis, research, presentations, and hands-on practice. The class is led with an MBA style, so students are advised that their participation and their contributions are key in building the class.
